And it is probably higher as I doubt everyone gets tested. :/ I recall the USA had over 300k cases one day in early January but that’s it (rest were in the 200k range.) India has roughly 4x the population of the USA.

I wish I had a pension! both my parents retired with a pension and they never got into the stock market and are doing well too! I think nowadays the average company doesn’t offer pensions and one has to save for retirement through 401k/IRA/Roth/rental properties, etc.

I guess so though I don’t have plans to retire early hence why I say FI instead of FIRE. I like my current job as it’s not that stressful yet pays the bills and am able to save/invest and partake into hobbies such as this. I believe the term for me is fatfire?

I agree with you in terms of enjoying life and as long as I have money in the bank to tip the gravedigger, all is well. When I was in my early 20s an older gay coworker once joked to me that one reason to have a 401k is to able to afford escorts by the time we retire at age ~65. The older I get I see his reasoning but back in 2008 I hired for the first time one of my favorite porn stars while he was visiting NYC and looking back it was worth every penny! To answer the original question, no I do not consider myself rich but I do the budget and due to the pandemic, have actually saved the most money I've ever had in my working life last year (mainly due to not travelling, not eating out or going to bars, cooking on my own, etc.). My main goal for the next several years is to reach my FI number. Once I hit that number, I'll consider myself rich.

I thought they changed the MTA subway system maintenance to 2a-4a? I'm guessing that uber price is one-way from meatpacking district in Manhattan to another borough. Either way am sorry to hear that it cost $57 one-way. A few weeks ago when I went to JFK to fly to Palm Springs, I recall Uber prices from midtown to JFK were around $150 one-way!

Yup polygamy is widely practiced there. I believe a man is legally allowed to have 4 wives at a time. I believe the current king has married over 30 women in his lifetime (he divorced some of them or some of them passed away). Anyways, I just googled it and according to this article there are around 15000 Saudi royals! https://www.businessinsider.com/mohammed-bin-salman-saudi-prince-net-worth-yacht-private-jet-lifestyle-2019-5

I had a friend who lived and worked in Riyadh for 2 years and he told me about the underground gay scene. He told me married Saudis prefer to have other married Saudis as gay hookup buddies more for protection/safety as they know providers can possibly blackmail them in the future (after the provider has left the country of course.)

are you watching the video from an internet browser or is it downloaded to your PC? If from a browser, try a different one (chrome, Firefox, safari, etc) and see if it works there. Also that PC might need a software update of some sort. Note I’m not a tech expert but just giving my 2 cents.

If you google dubai porta potty, you’ll find a lot of stories of Arab men contacting Instagram models and flying them to Dubai.

Yup plus if EVIII didn’t abdicate that means he couldn’t have married Wallis which would have caused more stress on his emotional/mental health. I have heard how EVIII was a Nazi sympathizer and always wondered how WWII would have resulted had he been king during that time.

So interesting! I know Dominic West has been cast for the next season of The Crown as Prince Charles. I wonder who he'll be in the downton abbey 2 movie.

Some photographers thought Cindy Crawford was Caitlyn!

Wasn't Edward VIII also chummy with the lol or Frau Battenberg? Thinking more about it, was Prince Philip’s last name Mountbatten growing up? Did he take his mother’s maiden name rather than his father’s Greek/Danish last name?

Given all the recent news on the way Scott Rudin abused/tortured/yelled at his underlings, do any of you still plan to go see The Music Man? I'm not even sure at this point if Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster will agree to be in it if Scott Rudin hangs on.

I've found it's really hot to hookup with a guy who doesn't speak the same language. I experienced this in Cuba. I don't speak Spanish and he didn't speak English but whatever he was saying to me sounded really beautiful and definitely got me going and likewise when I told him how beautiful and hot he was he seemed to like it too.

That was a fantasy of mine to meet in a bathhouse (though act like we were both there looking at first before going off together, go to the steam room, dark maze, etc.) lol. In Brazil (and probably the same in other places), I read someplace it's safer to go to the gay bathhouse and rent a room there for X mins for security reasons. Sorry to hear about the blackmail experience. Glad you're back in the hobby though.

I agree it must have been heartbreaking for her. I also thought of while watching the service.

I agree he is easy on the eyes! One thing I enjoyed while watching the Packers play on TV is seeing those blue eyes of his.

Wow yeah Prince Andrew looked attractive back in the day. From watching parts of the funeral today, I thought Peter Phillips who walked between Prince William & Harry in the procession, was quite goodlooking too.

My perception was different. I expected the people who attended the pool party would be similar to men I'd see in a gay bar or gay lounge with male dancers (which is quite diverse here in NYC age-wise and body-wise.) Overall everyone was friendly and easy to talk to.

Thank you for that rule, Epigonos. As someone who attended this past weekend's festivities, I appreciated not having photos and perhaps doing so also gives an incentive for people who missed out to actually come and show up in the future!

I’m guessing it’s free to hook up with him as long as he can film it and share the video to his subscribers.

Wow didn't realize he was sexually assaulted by a female fan two years ago at a charity event. https://money.yahoo.com/bachelor-star-colton-underwoods-sexual-190658439.html

Fingers crossed there won't be another wave over there in Australia & New Zealand as you guys are enter your colder season. Here in NYC area, covid cases dropped from June to mid-November but then increased again due to colder weather and the holidays.

The only other NFL player I know of who was a virgin is Tim Tebow. He's now retired and has a wife. As for Colton, I hope he is happier now that he's out. Hopefully he is seeing a therapist or at least talking to someone he trusts as he goes through all of this stuff.
